Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Make good sized opening (pocket) with sharp paring knife in the side of each chicken breast & set aside.

In medium saute’ pan place 2 Tbls olive oil and heat on medium-high heat until pan is nice & hot, saute Garlic and Onions for 3 minutes, turn heat to high and add Sliced Mushrooms, Basel, Spinach, Tomato, Salt & Ground Pepper to pan and saute until mushrooms are barely cooked firm (about 3-4 minutes), remove from heat and drain through kitchen strainer. Place drained/ cooked ingredients into medium mixing bowl, add 3/4 Cup Pepper Jack cheese and fold cheese into cooked mixture (saving 1/4 cup cheese for later). Using a tablespoon, stuff cooked ingredients into each Chicken Breast and secure chicken pocket closed with 2 toothpicks in each breast.

Grilled Vegetables with Andy’s Rub

Ingredients:

  • 2 zucchini, unpeeled
  • 1 basket of button mushrooms (rinse)
  • 1/2 red onion, finely sliced
  • 1/2 basket cherry tomatoes (rinse)
  • 1 basket tri-colored peppers
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Olive oil
  • Balsamic Vinegar

Procedure:

Wash zucchini, slice into rounds and then in half (discard ends).  Cut cherry tomatoes in half.  Cut peppers in large strips discarding seeds.

Place zucchini slices, mushrooms, sliced red onion, tomatoes, peppers and minced garlic into a glass bowl.  Mix in 1/4 cup olive oil (more if needed to coat well).  Sprinkle lightly with balsamic vinegar.  Sprinkle a generous portion of Andy’s rub into vegetables.  Mix well.  Best if left to marinate at room temperature for at 1/2 hour.

Heat grill to high.  In a grilling basket, put in vegetables with a slotted spoon.  Cook over high heat, stirring constantly.  Vegetables are best if they remain crunchy (so taste to your liking).  Just before removing, add some of the marinade to raise heat (fire) and char vegetables so they are slightly blackened.

Serve with your favorite grilled fish, meat or poultry.
